The greatest
obstacle in your way is your mind. Our thoughts often time direct our life without
us even being aware of it. Thought patterns repeated become habits. These
habits can be positive or negative. Positively they free the mind to focus on
other things. For example – tying your shoes is a habit. You can do it without
thinking. You can focus on other things
at the same time you are tying your shoes.
Habits therefore can be time saving and a great sense of freedom.
However, habits can also make us their servant. Repeat a bad habit over and
over, like smoking a cigarette, and soon we are enslaved.
Now there
are several ways to free the mind of negative habits. One is to feed it
positive thoughts and the other is to deny it negative thoughts. But this
requires controlling the conscious mind. The conscious mind has a tendency to
move in many directions and is easily influenced.
How do we
control the mind? By paying close
attention to our thoughts, words and deeds. If they are serving the greater good you have removed
the negative and replaced it with the positive.
Merely replacing
negative with positive energy is like trying to fill a cup that is riddles with
holes. No matter how much you try to fill the cup it will be empty. First you
need to fill the holes by paying attention to your thoughts, word and deed and
then fill the cup. How? Be at peace and content with what comes into your life,
as well as with what must depart. And always think, speak and act towards the
greatest good.
The ego
pulls you away from the center. The higher power brings you back. Live from
your center and you will be wise.
